Agree that they work with prints - I like the subtle pattern mix in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190808 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 22:50:54 +0000 Vildy 2190808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're a terrific advert for a low rise pant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190800 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 22:33:21 +0000 slim cat 2190800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for the kind words!<br /> I had my reservations about altering the rise but one of our seamstresses is very petite and have done such job before for herself as well. She did first navy blue velvet jeans and then two more ( one is casual camouflage pants - not for work). I’m happy that I can wear those pants - they were sitting in my closet for over a year.<br /> The rise is tricky to lower- some of the features will be lost, pockets diminished. It was alright with me - the pockets were already too shallow to begin with .<br /> I did get all of those in a bigger than usual size - so the waistband would fit hips and legs would be not tight ( plus some weight fluctuations ). They both fit more like pants than jeans ( slim cropped bootcut looking somewhat more straight). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190793 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 22:00:51 +0000 Anonymous 2190793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great alterations and the fit looks fabulous.

How can a rise be altered? I hate all these high rises! But my fit challenges are completely opposite of yours, aside from the rise. </p> <p>These all look fantastic on you. I particularly love the snake print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190752 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 20:15:01 +0000 Sal 2190752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so fab here- what a clever alteration.

I love how you styled the snakeprint in the first too - works great with the solids, and the large graphic is a great way of pattern-mixing with the smaller print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190713 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 17:51:00 +0000 Irina 2190713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the successful alterations! As someone who gets clothes altered often, I know the risks involved.<br />You look great in new pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190704 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 17:21:21 +0000 kellygirl 2190704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SOOO sleek. I love these. The snake print pants are so perfect for you--the fit is great.&nbsp; I didn't know you could alter the rise but they look fantastic. I love the cropped length and straight leg. SO fab. The moto is beautiful on you too! Awesome looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190700 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 17:13:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2190700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that snake print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190698 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 17:12:34 +0000 Angie 2190698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BRILLIANT alterations. KILLER pants, that you styled so well in your signature <b>Slim cat </b>way! I love it ALL :)</p> <p>I wouldn't worry too much about the pattern. It's quiet, neutral, and almost like a false plain. I suspect most graphic tees will work with them with the right support act.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190693 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 17:00:36 +0000 suzieq 2190693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! That’s a great alteration for you.</p> <p>I’m switching from petite to regular pants &amp; having them hemmed because although I’m 5’2” tall, I have a short waist &amp; a long rise. Few petite pants fit me correctly, I sometimes get lucky &amp; find a women’s size with a shorter inseam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-alteration-of-the-rise-of-jeans#post-2190687 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 16:52:50 +0000 Anonymous 2190687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both fit you really well - good alteration !

Both worn to work as a dressy spring/summer outfits.<br /> For the casual looks I have 2 denim jackets as best option but they not excepted at work sadly. </p> <p>The navy jacket is from Kut from the Kloth - got it on sale at Nordstrom.The printed one is from Nordy as well - junior department a few years ago.The first black jacket is from Joie ( soft fabrication ).</p> <p>So far printed bottoms seems to be more challenging for me - because almost all my tops have some kind of print.</p>
